The mum-of-two also hinted at the ‘beef’ between them by posting a picture of a roast dinner with the caption: ‘‘It’s official‘

The spat didn’t end there and continued over the next couple of days.

Lily mocked Azealia – best known for hit single 212 – for not yet releasing her first album, writing: ‘ive had 2 kids since 212 dropped and i bet my my album still comes out 1st. bitch is scared of the ball. OUT.‘

Azealia was quick to trade more insults though.

‘Lily Allen is promoting the fuck out of Azealia Banks right now,’ the rapper Tweetedback.

‘She’s just mad cause sucking her husbands dick is like playing thumb wars.‘

She then posted an unflattering topless picture of Lily and added: ‘Ugh, bitch bye‘
